Installation
The C-Series controllers are state-of-the-art precision electronic
instruments. Installation, environment, mounting, and wiring must be
accomplished in accordance with applicable local and national electrical codes.
The instructions that follow are applicable to the typical installation. For special
applications, consult a qualified electrician or your Trace dealer. Installation
procedures will vary according to your specific application.
Mounting
The C-Series controllers are designed for indoor mounting. Care should be
taken in selecting a location and when mounting the enclosure. Avoid mounting
it in direct sunlight in order to reduce heating of the enclosure and subsequent
high operating temperatures. The enclosure should be mounted vertically on
awall.
Mounting and enclosure dimensions are shown in Figure 2 (the C-35
controller does not feature an external heat sink). Remove the faceplate on the
controller and locate the upper two screw locations on the wall. The back of
the enclosure is provided with keyholes for mounting. Leave the screw heads
backed out approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or less. Place the controller onto the
screws and pull it down into the keyhole slots. Then insert the two lower
screws to lock the enclosure onto the wall. Provide either strain-relief clamps
or conduit to prevent damage to the circuit board and terminal block from pulling
on the wires. The cover should be replaced and retained with the screws
provided (#10-32 x 3/8" SMS).
In outdoor installations, the C-Series units must be installed in a rainproof
enclosure to eliminate exposure to rain or water-spray. The use of conformal-
coated circuit boards, plated terminals, powder-coated metal components, and
stainless steel fasteners improves tolerance to hostile environments.
CAUTION: INSTALL THE C-SERIES CONTROLLER IN A DRY, PROTECTED
LOCATION AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HIGH TEMPERATURE, MOISTURE,
AND VIBRATION. EXPOSURE TO SALTWATER IS PARTICULARLY
DESTRUCTIVE. CORROSION OF THE CIRCUIT BOARD IS NOT COVERED BY
THE WARRANTY.
